Data record instr.cable-fault-locator.fault-classification

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

The first measurement stage identifies the faulted phase and whether the fault is of low or high resistance, because this decides the technique: a low-voltage pulse from a time-domain reflectometer sees a low-resistance fault, while a high-resistance fault is not visible to it and needs a surge (impulse) generator.
